1 Journal of Construction in Developing Countries, Supp. 1, 71 78, 2012 Financial Ratio Analysis: An Assessment of Malaysian Contracting Firms * Mohd Suberi Ab. Halim 1, Mastura Jaafar 1, Omar Osman 1 and Md. Shariff Haniff 2 Abstract: This paper examines the role of financial management in the success or failure of construction firms. According to previous studies on the impact of financial factors in the failure of construction projects, poor financial management and lack of capital are the main determinants of construction failure. Failures in the construction industry are experienced not only by developing countries but also worldwide, and the failure scenario is present in the construction industry in Malaysia. The failure rate of construction companies in Malaysia is high. According to the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB), from January 2006 to August 2008, 11,321 construction companies were classified as dormant and non-active. There are very few successful contractors in Malaysia, and most construction projects cannot be completed within the original schedule. The sources of failure are directly related to financial factors. In this case study, 17 financial ratios were used to measure companies' financial performance. Six medium and large Bumiputera contractors were selected as case studies. This study found that most Bumiputera construction companies had insufficient cash capital to finance their construction work, experienced a low profit margin from construction projects and were highly dependent on debt capital to finance their construction costs. There was a lack of monitoring systems for cash flow and project costs. Without effective financial practices, construction companies are setting themselves up for failure. Keywords: Construction industry, Financial management, Financial failure INTRODUCTION The construction industry plays an important role in enhancing the economic performance of a country, and it plays a central role in national welfare by using various resources to construct economic and social facilities (Bashir, 2000). The construction industry contributes, on average, between 5% and 9% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in developing countries (Kirmani, 1988 in Abu Bakar, 2002). The importance of the construction sector is related not to its size but to its role in economic development. This sector produces all of the facilities needed by other producers and end consumers (Abdullah, 2004). The construction industry in Malaysia, as in other countries, can serve as a barometer of the nation's economic conditions. However, every year, thousands of contractors face bankruptcy and business failure. These firms leave behind unfinished private and public construction projects. Even worse, they leave behind billions of dollars in losses for project owners and taxpayers (Strischek and McIntyre, 2008). Previous studies on the impact of financial factors on the failure of construction firms have identified poor financial management and lack of capital as the main determinants of construction failure (Kangari, 1988; Navon, 1996). 1 School of Housing Building and Planning, University Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang, MALAYSIA 2 Faculty of Business Management, Mara University of Technology, Melaka, MALAYSIA Corresponding author: quratulwafi@yahoo.my Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2012
2 Mohd Suberi Ab. Halim et al. Peterson (2005) cites evidence from the Surety Information Office (SIO), an office that collects data on surety bonds in United State, that the main factors in failure are directly related to the financial management of a company. Yin (2006) found that most contractors do not have sufficient capital to finance their undertakings. Unlike most manufacturers, contractors generally do not have fixed assets, such as land or buildings; instead, they have construction equipment. Unfortunately, banks do not accept these moving assets as collateral for loans. Without bank financing, contractors find it more difficult to undertake their projects. Financial problems faced by contractors are also due to projects' low profit margins. Through the open tender system, contractors must consistently produce good work at the cheapest price. Previous studies have used financial ratio analysis to measure the performance of construction companies. In the present study, 17 financial ratios for construction companies proposed by Peterson (2005) were used to evaluate relative performance. PROBLEM STATEMENT High Number of Business Failures in the Construction Industry Worldwide The examples below indicate the high number of business failures in the construction industry worldwide. In 1997, 10,867 construction companies in the United States failed, bringing the total number of construction company failures for the eight-year period beginning in 1990 to more than 80,000 (Peterson, 2005). The likelihood of failure is faced not only by small and new firms but also by large contracting firms. For example, in 2002, two of Japan's largest construction companies, the Sato Kogy Company and Nissan Construction, filed for bankruptcy (Belson, 2002). In the same year, Germany's second-largest construction company, Philipp Holzmann, which had been in business for more than 150 years, also filed for bankruptcy (Behrens, 2002). The same scenario occurs in Malaysia. The failure rate of construction firms in Malaysia is high. According to the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB), from January 2006 to August 2008, 11,321 construction firms were classified as dormant and non-active. High Non-Performing Loans (NPL) in the Construction Industry Many loans to construction firms become non-performing, commonly referred to as un-collectable (Lin, 2008). Table 2 shows the amount of loans and nonperforming loans (NPLs) by contractors for 2004 and /PENERBIT UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA

5 Financial Ratio Analysis RESEARCH OBJECTIVE The objective of this paper is to review the importance of financial management practices for construction firms in an attempt to consider the significance of financial management in the construction industry. DESIGN / METHODOLOGY / APPROACH Data were collected through case studies. Six large and medium-sized Bumiputera construction companies were selected as case studies. Three years of annual financial reports for the selected construction companies were examined. For a more meaningful relative performance evaluation, the companies' average ratios for three years were used as a comparison with the industry average. Seventeen financial ratios were selected as measurement performance tools. The ratios are based on data from financial statements for more than 62,000 companies, as reported by Dun and Bradstreet Inc. and proposed by Peterson (2005). FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS The table below shows the results of three years of average ratios for the six selected construction companies. PENERBIT UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA/75
6 Mohd Suberi Ab. Halim et al. ASSESSMENTS Table 4 shows an assessment of the findings from the case study. Table 4. Assessments of Ratios No Ratios Assessments 1 CR Worse than industry average. A company with a CR below 1.5:1 is considered undercapitalised (lack of capital) and may experience financial problems in the future. 2 QR Worse than industry average but still within range, except for company B, which was slightly less than the minimum range of 0.6:1. A company with a QR below 1.00 to 1 is considered not liquid (lack of cash) and must increase its cash either through debt financing or converting its assets to cash. 3 CL/NW Worse than industry average. Short-term creditors have more capital at risk, which is not in a good position. The higher ratio indicates intensive use of suppliers and sub-contractors. 4 DER Worse than industry average. The high ratio indicates that the company is highly dependent on debt capital to perform its business. The company may not be able to service their debt, especially during economic downturns. 5 FA/NW The fixed asset to net worth ratio is a measurement of the amount of owner equity in fixed assets, such as construction equipment, building and vehicles. A high number indicates a company with a large investment in fixed assets and a need to maintain a steady stream of work to pay for these fixed assets. Most companies have a large investment in fixed assets, and their FA/NW is much higher than the industry average (worse than industry average), except for company F, which maintains its FA/NW ratio below the industry average. 6 CA/TA CA/TA is greater than the minimum suggested rate of 70% given to a commercial construction industry. An average of more than 70% of the company's assets is tied up in current assets and considered very liquid. 7 CP CP is a measurement of the average time that it takes a company to collect its accounts receivable. A collection period of more than the industry average indicates that the company has poor collection policies. 8 AAAP AAAP represents the average time that it takes the company to pay its bills and how extensively the company uses trade financing. If the AAAP is greater than its collection period, this indicates that the company is highly dependent on suppliers and sub-contractors to finance its construction work. The suggested rate for accounts payable is 45 days. A higher number indicates that the company is slow to pay its bills. (continued on next page) 76/PENERBIT UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA
7 Financial Ratio Analysis Table 4 (continued) No Ratios Assessments 9 AAR AAR is a measurement of how efficiently the company uses its assets. Companies with an AAR above the upper end of the typical range, such as companies C and D, have performed too much work for their assets. However, companies with an AAR below the lower end of the range, such as company C, are underutilising their assets (not efficiently using their assets). 10 WCT WCT is a measurement of how efficiently a company uses its working capital. A company with a WCT higher than the industry average, such as companies A, C, E and F, are considered undercapitalised (not efficient) and must increase the availability of their current assets. The negative WCT of company D indicates the negative working capital of the company (lack of working capital). 11 APRR APRR is a measurement of how much the company uses its suppliers and sub-contractors as a source of funds. Companies with an APRR greater than the industry average of 7.9% are significantly funded by suppliers and sub-contractors (lack of capital). 12 GPM Worse than industry average. A lower GPM suggests that the company has a higher cost of construction. The company must control its construction costs and increase its profits. 13 GOR Within the suggested rate of less than 10% for a commercial construction company. All companies spent less than 10% of their revenue on general overhead. 14 ATPM Less than the suggested industry average for a construction company of 2.2% indicates that the construction company runs its business at a loss or at a minimum profit margin. The company must work on its profitability, by either cutting costs or increasing profit and overhead markup. 15 ROA Less than the industry average of 6.5% and below the minimum range is a strong indication that the company runs its business with a minimum profit margin or poor financial management. Improvement in the after-tax profit margin will help to increase this percentage. 16 ROE ROE is the return the company's shareholders receive on their invested capital. Practically, ROE is directly related to the company's profitability. A negative ROE, such as those in companies B, D and F, indicates a negative (loss) profitability from operations. Improvement in the after-tax profit margin will help to increase this percentage. 17 DFAN Greater than the target range of 60% to 40% indicates that the company has many new machines, which usually involves large loan payments. CONCLUSION The overall findings from the case study show that most of the Bumiputera construction companies have insufficient cash capital to finance their construction work, low profit margins from construction projects and are highly dependent on debt capital to finance their construction costs. The lack of monitoring systems for companies' cash flow and project costs were the main causes of failure. PENERBIT UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA/77
